21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

21 I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.

21 I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.

21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness is by law, then Christ has died for nothing.

21 I don’t reject God’s kindness.If we receive God’s approval by obeying the laws in the Scriptures, then Christ’s death was pointless. 

21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

21 I do not nullify the grace of God; for if justification comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

21 I do not declare invalid the grace of God, for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died to no purpose.

21 I do not get rid of the grace of God. What if a person could become right with God by obeying the law? Then Christ died for nothing!
